IIS , Web.Config timeout precedence

Hello,
I was unable to find a concrete pointer as to the precedence of
IIS, Web.config when it comes to timeout. Say, IIS has a timeout value
set different from that of web.config, which one is considered?

Besides, could anyone differentiate the timeout attributes between the
lines marked with astericks?

WRT the second question: sessionState timout indicates the session timeout
(duration of user inactivity after which the user session is destroyed).
authentication timout is the timeout for the cookie used by Forms Auth.

First question: IIS timeout is for ASP scripts only. For ASP.NET, use
web.config's timeout.
